Are you experiencing excessive sweating with fibromyalgia that's not related to weather or menopause?

Yes, excessive sweating is a symptom that many people with fibromyalgia experience. You're definitely not alone in this.

MyFibroTeam members frequently discuss dealing with excessive sweating both during the day and at night. Some describe waking up drenched in sweat, while others find themselves sweating constantly regardless of the temperature around them.

This symptom can happen:
- Throughout the day, not just at night
- Without any obvious trigger like heat or physical activity
- Even in cool environments
- For years at a time

The sweating appears to be connected to how fibromyalgia affects the nervous system's regulation of body temperature and other automatic functions. Some members also wonder if their medications might contribute to the sweating, so that's worth discussing with your doctor if you're on any treatments.

Many people find this symptom frustrating and uncomfortable, but knowing others share this experience can help you feel less isolated. Consider talking with your healthcare provider about management strategies that might work for your specific situation.
